What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Chocolate Bash's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Marketing Fund is defined as the fund established by CB Franchising into which Marketing Fund Contributions are deposited. CB Franchising manages this Marketing Fund and uses it for marketing, advertising, and public relations activities.
While the FDD defines the Marketing Fund and specifies that franchisees contribute to it, the document does not explicitly state to whom the franchisee makes the Marketing Fund Contribution payments.
A prospective Chocolate Bash franchisee should clarify with the franchisor the exact payment process for the Marketing Fund Contributions, including the specific entity or account to which these funds should be directed, the accepted methods of payment, and the payment schedule.
